35 year old woman | Fayetteville, GA, USA | Seeking men 31-40 within 40 miles
Looking for that wild horse to run freely with me.
It's been 10 years but life has brought me back to Atlanta!!! l have even been compared to Jennifer Aniston's character in Along Came Polly (however, I do have a strong sense of stability). I can be found reading a book on the beach one moment to yelling and screaming at the TV while watching pretty much any sporting event. I enjoy being outdoors on a warm, sunny day and am still in the early stages of learning how to snowboard. I'm open to (and want to) try new things and expand upon the experiences of my life. I LOVE traveling and all I need is a moments notice to be packed and out the door. Laughing on a daily basis is a must!!!! Even if I'm the only one laughing and its at myself...its all good. Looking for a man that share's in some of my interests as well as can open my eyes to new experiences. I was raised in an all female family in Philly so needless to say I have a moderately sized sarcastic personality and welcome a man that can throw it right back at me.
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Playing sports , Religion/Spiritual , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports
Aerobics, Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Cycling, Dancing, Football, Inline skating, Martial arts, Other types of exercise, Running, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I like Dogs
Traveling is a huge interest of mine and I love that my job has permitted me such great opportunities to do so. I try to go somewhere new every year. Favorite places include Atlanta, Chicago, the Dominican Republic, and Iguazu Argentina.
Georgia State University, Atlanta, GA
Traveling (locally and internationally), music (mostly RnB, neo-soul, and jazz but also enjoy other types) the arts, sports (watching and participating in), reading, and most of all spending time with family and friends.
There are sooo many things I enjoy doing that listing them would be endless. I am basically an open-minded person who can chill at home (happily) or be out and about.

Procan is the Oeridian god of Seas, Sea Life, Salt, Sea Weather, and Navigation. His holy symbol is a gold and coral trident above or piercing a cresting wave.
Contents |
Procan is an ancient, primal god. He is wild and tempestuous; he can be benevolent or malevolent at turns, but generally cares nothing for humanity unless carefully propitiated - and perhaps not even then. He's the embodiment of mercurial winds and uncertain fate. He is greedy and possessive of the wealth that comes to his domain, whether from deliberate offerings or sunken ships. He's an elder god, almost like a titan, though he roams the cosmos freely.
Procan is portrayed as a muscular man with blue-green skin and hair. His eyes are golden, glinting like sunken treasure. He carries a large spear dripping with seaweed.
Procan is the father of the Velaeri: (Velnius, Telchur, Atroa, Sotillion, and Wenta). Procan usually ignores other gods, save for fellow sea-deities such as Osprem and Xerbo. He is said to have aided in the banishment of Panzuriel.
Procan's realm, Seasedge, is located on the plane of Limbo.
Priests of Procan stress the protean and changeable nature of the seas and skies. They portray nature as a harsh, treacherous mistress that Procan can hope to avail against. While Procan can protect his worshippers against doom, they also note that he can help them reap the bounty of the seas. The ocean—and, by extension, Procan—is seen as the origin and destination of all life.
Procan is most often revered in his aquatic aspect, though some inland peoples do worship him as a weather god. Some sentient aquatic creatures, such as merfolk, may also worship Procan.
Clerics of Procan normally live on or near the sea, ministering to fishermen and sailors. Their holy water is made from salt water, but their create water cantrips may call either fresh or salt water into being.
Any port city will have at least a small shrine to Procan. Atirr, the Free City of Greyhawk, Hardby, Irongate, and Sasserine all have temples to the deity. Atirr's cathedral is particularly large. The cathedral of Procan in Ironport in the Sea Barons is famed for its incredible decorations, including arabesques, symbols of Procan, anchors, and chains all carved from stone. In the center is a towering 20 foot high statue of the god himself. The cathedral's walls stand over a hundred feet high.
Procan's services are held on or close to the sea. Gold or pearls are cast into the waters as offerings to the deity, fish and bread are eaten, and the priests pray for the safety at sea.

Kendra Wilkinson's mother thinks fame has changed her.
The former 'Girls Next Door' star's mother, Patti Wilkinson is very upset that she had to find out her daughter was pregnant with her second child from the media, but blames Hollywood for the "mess".
She wrote on her Facebook page: "So seems as Kendra hates me & I quote hopes I die! All because I confronted her about me being the last to know she is having another baby. Wow. Hollywood sure does mess with people."
She later wrote: "Thank you all for your messages of support! Appreciate you a lot!"
Patti's Facebook page has been flooded with kind messages from her fans, and it appears she hopes that she and her daughter will mend their feud as she liked a message from one fan that reads: "Kendra will come around, Patti. I know you love her, and that love will carry you both through this one way or another."
Patti and Kendra briefly fell out when the blonde beauty announced her first pregnancy at her bridal shower in front of a large group of people, including her camera crew, in 2009.
Kendra's brother, Colin Wilkinson, branded her "psychotic b***h" for not telling her family she is pregnant again.
He tweeted: "Every1 plz never ask me about my sister again. She is no longer a part of my life. She's an inconsiderate psychotic bitch. I'm done (sic)"
Kendra, 28, and husband Hank Baskett already have a three-year-old son, Hank IV and gushed about their desire to have another child earlier this year, but the couple has yet to comment on her current pregnancy.

UIElement.DoubleTapped event
Occurs when an otherwise unhandled DoubleTap interaction occurs over the hit test area of this element.
<uiElement DoubleTapped="eventhandler"/>
Event information
Delegate | DoubleTappedEventHandler |
A DoubleTap interaction is simply two Tap interactions that occur in quick succession. The exact timing of what the system interprets as a double tap is adjustable by users through system settings.
See Touch interaction design for more info on how to use a DoubleTap interaction in your app design.
If a user interaction also fires DoubleTapped, Tapped will fire first to represent the first tap, but the second tap won't fire an additional Tapped. If you want different logic for Tapped versus DoubleTapped, your Tapped handler may need to use app-specific variables and a timer in order to avoid running on interactions that are eventually interpreted as a DoubleTap action.
A DoubleTapped event represents a gesture, whereas a PointerPressed event is a lower-level input event. DoubleTapped and PointerPressed events can fire as the result of a single user interaction. Even if a control is already handling pointer events in the control logic, or is handling manipulations, that doesn't prevent DoubleTapped from firing.
A DoubleTapped event is potentially the result of more than one pointer point. For the higher-level gesture events like DoubleTapped you no longer have immediate access to PointerPoint details such as individual PointerId values or individual coordinates. You do have access to device type (PointerDeviceType) and for coordinates you can call GetPosition, which gives an average of the coordinates for a DoubleTap from more than one pointer point.
DoubleTapped is a routed event. Also, an element must have IsDoubleTapEnabled be true to be a DoubleTapped event source (true is the default). It is possible to handle DoubleTapped on parent elements even if IsDoubleTapEnabled is false on the parent element, if the event bubbles to a parent from an event source child element where IsDoubleTapEnabled is false. For more info on the routed event concept, see Events and routed events overview.
For touch actions and also for interaction-specific or manipulation events that are consequences of a touch action, an element must be hit-test visible in order to be the event source and fire the event that is associated with the action. UIElement.Visibility must be Visible. Other properties of derived types also affect hit-test visibility. For more info, see Hit testing and input events.
DoubleTapped supports the ability to attach event handlers to the route that will be invoked even if the event data for the event is marked Handled. See AddHandler.
Specific Windows Runtime controls may have class-based handling for the DoubleTapped input event. If so, the control probably has an override for the method OnDoubleTapped. Typically the event is marked handled by the class handler, and the DoubleTapped event is not raised for handling by any user code handlers on that control. For more info on how class-based handling for events works, see Input event handlers in controls.

• Have the talk. As this study shows, healthcare providers often don't bring up hospice as an option. If you or a loved one is seriously ill, talk to a trusted doctor or nurse and ask them about a prognosis, and if they think hospice might be right for your situation. It's often easier to confront these types of issues when you are well, so it's not a bad idea to talk to family and loved ones about your final wishes while you're healthy.
But if you've been diagnosed with a condition that typically limits your life expectancy, don't be afraid to talk about hospice early on for a better quality of life. "About a quarter of patients enroll in hospice a handful of days before they die, so they can't really take advantage of it," says Huskamp. "But many patients use it much longer—months—and even much longer than expected."
• Know where to find help. Most patients say they want to die in their home with their pain controlled. Hospice services can grant that wish, but it's important to understand that the service is there not to numb you, but to offer an extra set of services targeted to people in this situation. "The other side is helping you to prepare mentally and physically for your death and have some time to work through those issues," says Huskamp. Caring Connections is a good source to find more information about hospice services. The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization also offers an online directory that can help you find a hospice provider.
• Understand funding. Typical payment for a day's worth of hospice care is $140. Most terminally ill patients are over the age of 65, so they're enrolled in Medicare, which funds most hospice services. For the care to be covered, though, a physician has to say the prognosis is six months or less. (Although you very well may live longer.) Lower-income patients on Medicaid are generally covered the same way. Some hospices can charge a very modest copayment for pain medications, but some even bypass this charge. Private insurance coverage varies—some policies offer great coverage, while others are limited or offer no coverage. If insurance doesn't help foot the bill, talk to a hospice provider in your area—many receive donations that can be used for uninsured patients, and others offer payment plans.
• Know what to expect. Hospice care varies with each patient, depending on his or her condition and the stage of the disease. When you first enroll, expect people to be coming by often. Depending on how you're doing, nurses' aides, who can help with things around the house and with bathing patients, along with social workers and spiritual counselors, may come by daily or every few days. As a patient is actively dying, some hospice providers will help patients round the clock.

MedLine Citation:
PMID: 22028527 Owner: NLM Status: PubMed-not-MEDLINE |
PURPOSE: To assess the knowledge of obstetricians about concerns of women with epilepsy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We surveyed 97 obstetricians (teaching hospitals-43, private hospitals-32, and community health centers-21) using knowledge of women's issues and epilepsy (KOWIE) questionnaire II with additional questions. RESULTS: The mean duration of practice of the surveyed obstetricians was 12.4 ± 10.7 years and 94% were female doctors. Most of them were well informed about the teratogenic effects of AEDs (91%), need to continue antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) during pregnancy (95%), and the role of folic acid and vitamin K during pregnancy (95%). They agreed AEDs decrease the efficacy of oral contraception and it was safe for the woman to breast-feed the baby while on AEDs. Only 1/3(rd) of them knew that steroid hormones could alter seizure threshold or that AEDs could predispose to osteomalacia. Fewer doctors knew that WWE could have increased sexual dysfunction (29.9%) or infertility (26.8%). The knowledge did not vary according to years of practice or practice settings. CONCLUSIONS: Obstetricians were well informed about the fetal complications of antenatal AED exposure, but were under informed of other complications such as osteomalacia, sexual dysfunction, and infertility. |

Women with epilepsy (WWE) face many gender-related issues. This is because of the effect of epilepsy and antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) on fertility, contraception, pregnancy, breast-feeding, and fetus.[1–3] The American Academy of Neurology and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists issued practice parameters on various medical issues of WWE.[4–6] The various studies published in last two decades have consistently demonstrated a substantial lack of knowledge by both health professionals and patients in the areas of health of WWE.[7–10] In a study conducted by the American Epilepsy Foundation, out of a total of around 3500 participants, only 5% of health care providers could correctly answer two-thirds of the questions on various issues of WWE.[7] Empathetic consideration, patient counseling especially in the prepregnancy period, diagnostic watchfulness, and the use of supplemental medications can successfully overcome the challenges in most cases.[10, 11] As is evident, the deficiency of quality care and the lacunae of awareness among health care providers go hand in hand.
The majority of studies done so far to assess the knowledge and awareness of health care workers included a heterogeneous population.[7, 11, 12] Obstetricians significantly contribute as one of the primary care providers for WWE during pregnancy and childbirth. Therefore, we undertook this study to assess the knowledge of obstetricians about the relevant topics and concerns of WWE in Kerala, a state in Southern India. We also aimed to compare the knowledge of obstetricians working in different hospital set-ups.
To assess the awareness of issues specific to women with epilepsy, obstetricians attending a local state level conference were asked to complete a questionnaire. The study group consisted of obstetricians working in three different hospital settings, i.e., small community health centers, the private hospitals, and the government teaching institutes. The questionnaire included the knowledge of women's issues and epilepsy (KOWIE) II questionnaire[11] along with additional questions regarding their demography, clinical practice, and AED preferences.
Long et al. developed the KOWIE I and II questionnaires to ascertain what women (KOWIE- I) and healthcare professionals (KOWIE-II) knew about issues pertaining to WWE.[11, 13] The items for emphasis for both tools are consistent, and include questions pertaining to the effect of seizures and antiepileptic drugs on oral contraception, bone health, sexual function, hormones, pregnancy, and breast-feeding. The validity and reliability of both tools have been previously established.[13] We took the author's prior permission to use the KOWIE-II questionnaire in our study.
For statistical analysis, the questionnaire was evaluated and scored as zero (incorrect response) or one (correct response) for each question. Mann-Whitney test was used for the univariate analysis, for the comparison of awareness of obstetricians working in different health set-ups and with different years of experiences.
We approached a total of 100 obstetricians (teaching hospitals—46, private hospitals—32, and community health centers—22) using the questionnaire. Three obstetricians from teaching hospital declined to take part. Their demographic data and type of practice are summarized in Table 1. While 93 (96%) of them were interested in treating WWE, majority (80, 82.5%) were treating WWE in cooperation with the neurologist. Most of them were using first line AEDs (carbamazepine-54, phenobarbitone-28, phenytoin-18, sodium valproate-14, and newer AEDs-4) for WWE. According to participants, the highest incidence of congenital anomaly was with valproate (60), followed by phenytoin (32), carbamazepine (6), and phenobarbitone (1).
A common knowledge was that the majority of the WWE have healthy children (91%). A significant percentage of obstetricians (n = 95, 97%) considered that teratogenesis could be prevented by using folic acid during pregnancy. WWE were advised to continue AEDs during pregnancy by 92 (95%) doctors. The AED most suited for the seizure type/epilepsy syndrome was considered to be the best during pregnancy by 64 (65.9%) of the obstetricians [Table 2].
All participants believed that vitamin K may reduce the risk of hemorrhagic disorder in the fetus associated with AED exposure. The reduction of efficacy of oral contraceptive pills on AED usage was understood by 92 (94.8%) of the obstetricians. Similarly, the safety of breast-feeding was widely known (91.7%). Nevertheless, less than 30% of the participants only correctly understood the higher incidence of sexual dysfunction (n = 29) and infertility (n = 26) in WWE. About half of them (n = 44) knew about the association of AEDs and osteomalacia. Around a third of the participants (n = 39) knew that estrogen has a proconvulsant effect whereas progesterone has an anticonvulsant effect [Table 3].
When comparison was made using the scoring system, there was no significant difference between the obstetricians working in the different health set-ups (mean score 7.98 vs 7.67, P = 0.32). Also, no significant difference was found when comparison was made according to years of practice (≤10 years = 7.75 vs ≥11 years = 7.87, P = 0.99).
WWE need more attention and special care as compared to men with epilepsy, especially during pregnancy and childbirth. This is the first study from India to survey the knowledge of the obstetricians regarding the issues of WWE. A better awareness among the health care professionals and improved understanding in woman herself and her family members can indeed help to alleviate the anxiety and thus, in turn improve the outcome.
The majority of the findings of the nonobstetric effect of AEDs and epilepsy in WWE were similar to previous studies.[7, 11, 14] However, the earlier studies included health care providers working in different specialties. The difference was observed in the following three areas: Majority of the participants in our study knew the safety of the breast feeding and usefulness of vitamin K in preventing hemorrhagic diseases in the newborn. In contrast, only 47% and 68% of the health professionals in a study done in USA knew them correctly.[11] A similar study among obstetricians in Scotland observed that 13% of the obstetricians discouraged breast-feeding and 56% of them never gave vitamin K during pregnancy.[10] However, only 44% of the Indian obstetrician knew the relationship between AEDs and osteomalacia as against 77% of the US health professionals. This might be explained by the fact of higher prevalence of osteomalacia related to AEDs exposure in temperate countries compared to tropical countries such as India. In our study, majority knew about the enzyme inducing effect of AEDs on OCPs whereas only 1/4th of the study population including neurologists and gynecologists understood this interaction in a study done in the USA in 1996. Studies have shown that hiking up the dose of OCPs will prevent unplanned pregnancies in WWE in the presence of enzyme inducing AEDs.[4]
There was a good correlation between the awareness on side effects profile of first line AEDs on fetus and their usage in clinical practice among the participants in our study. In a study by Long et al.,[11] there was a better understanding of the issues of WWE with more years of practice. However, on comparing the different working setups and years of experience, significant difference was found among the obstetricians in our study. This could possibly be accounted for by the smaller sample size.
In conclusion, majority of the obstetricians were well informed about the maternal and fetal aspects of WWE, but were relatively under informed of other related issues such as osteomalacia, sexual dysfunction and infertility. A well-planned education in this area to all health care professionals is essential to improve the understanding and care of WWE. It is highly recommended to organize sessions in order to dissipate knowledge about matters concerning WWE. This will not only improve the level of quality care provided by heterogeneous population of obstetricians, rather, will be step towards a good teamwork between the teaching and nonteaching health sectors.

Going Out
Staying In
A/V Room
Compiled by: Jack Foley
Q. Were you aware of the comic books as a child? A. I never heard of The Fantastic Four, didn't know of their existence, and I certainly wasn't a comic book reader as a child, so like Jessica and Chris I'm a total newcomer to this project. Obviously, subsequently I did a lot of research and rather a nice bit of research it was too, sitting on a beach reading comics.
Q. Have you had any experiences with fans whose expectations were really high? A. I certainly didn't have as much of a standing ovation as Jess did. They were in fact a little bit shocked that there was this guy speaking in a broad Welsh accent - how dare this Brit represent this American, iconic character. Any jokes I tried to crack there was deathly silence, 10,000 people. Subsequently, I researched the character and worked on the accent, and I think I've pulled it off.
Q. Did your relationships off-camera contribute to the way in which you were perceived on camera? IG. The success of the film is based on the fact that you believe this is a dysfunctional family of superheroes - and I think that's a testimony to our relationships off camera. If you've got any sort of relationships off camera, it always informs the relationships on-screen, and I think you do believe that Chris and Jessica are always bickering like brothers and sisters, while Michael and I are best mates and I feel guilty for all I've done for him... To be honest, the process of making a movie like this can be quite tedious, because it's so technically-based. But I think we did our duty as actors to bring the characters to life and to make them three-dimensional, and then the video effects team have just gone and run with it, and married those two together to create this believable film within this genre. Q. How did you combat wearing the spandex? IG: Six months down the gym! To be honest, you need a little bit of help from the sculptor who sculpted our muscle-suits that we wore underneath. Myself and Chris that is, Jessica is perfectly natural.
Q. If you had a super-power for the weekend? How would you enjoy it? A: I wouldn't mind the ability to stretch. I think we could all do with a bit of help now and again, especially after ten pints of lager!
Q. Do you think that you might like to come back to Britain in a few years time and maybe return to TV or theatre? A: To be honest, I'm always aware of what's happening here in the UK. I'm just physically living in LA, and I'm really enjoying living there. I certainly went out with the ambition of making movies, and they make more movies in Los Angeles. As regards to Hornblower, I'd love to continue with that character - I think it would be interesting to play the character through every stage of his life.
Q. Do you think you'll go the way of Anthony Hopkins and get American citizenship? A. Maybe for tax reasons.
Q. Was it disappointing to kiss the Invisible Woman? A. Well Jessica kindly allowed me to feel what it was actually like, before I started kissing the air, miming it. Jessica: Well that was because you were groping me low. Ioan: You'd given me the green light, you know. Those moments in the film, we'd do it once, naturally, and then Jessica would step away and then I would physically resort to mime. (Physical demonstrates kissing the Invisible Woman to much laughter]
Q. How tempted were you, as a Welshman, to play your character with a Welsh accent? A: I had to fight to get this part. I auditioned and pursued this part. And part of that was convincing the casting director and the director that I could do the American accent. There was no doubt in my mind that it wasn't going to be American.
Q. How did you enjoy the glimpse into the future with your grey sideboards? IG: That was a tedious process as well. We went from the full shock of white hair as in the comic, and it looked ridiculous; like a racoon! So we make it subtler, and made it look a bit more distinguished. George Clooney was the original idea.

I've been thinking about what Taueret said, that she aims to weave things that look like "a human made it". I believe one of my goals is for the cloth to look like they were machine-woven, run of the mill, "perfect". They never are, but I have rigid aesthetics for my own pieces, which may be alleviating the chances for something spectacular.
I have in mind something rather uncharacteristic for SSVE. But must get the fine warp project finished first.

Girl Burned, Austin Firefighter Hurt in Early Morning Fire
Austin, TX -- A 14-year-old girl suffered burns on her hands and a firefighter suffered an apparently non-life-threatening injury after an early morning fire at a North Austin duplex.
The fire in the 8500 block of Dryfield Drive was reported shortly before 4 a.m. That address is Southeast of the intersection of U.S. 183 and Ohlen Road.
A woman who lives in the duplex told KVUE that her 14-year-old daughter lighted a candle in her room and then fell asleep reading. When the girl awoke, the room was ablaze. She suffered burns on her hands in the aftermath.
An Austin firefighter was also taken via ambulance for treatment but his injuries did not appear serious.
Neither his name nor the name of the injured teenager were made public.
The fire spread quickly through the structure's roof and flames were shooing skyward when firefightrs arrived.
A damage estimate was not yet available.

Anticipation of Traffic Demands to Guarantee QoS in IP/Optical Networks
Centre Tecnològic de Telecomunicacions de Catalunya, Av. Carl Friedrich Gauss 7, 08860, Castelldefels, Spain
Received: 21 August 2010 / Revised: 2 September 2010 / Accepted: 2 September 2010 / Published: 21 September 2010

Download PDF [423 KB, uploaded 21 September 2010]
Traffic in the Internet backbone is expected to grow above a few Tbit/s in 2020. To cope with this, operators are moving to IP/optical network architectures, where IP is the convergence layer for all services. On the other hand, the quality of service (QoS) requirements of future applications encompasses the individualization of services and the assurance of stricter quality parameters such as latency, jitter or capacity. In other words, future optical networks will not only transport more IP data, but they will also have to offer differentiated QoS requirements to services. Finally, some emerging applications, e.g., grid computing, need greater flexibility in the usage of network resources, which involves establishing and releasing connections as if they were virtualized resources controlled by other elements or layers. In this context, traffic-driven lightpath provisioning and service-plane approaches arise as very interesting candidate solutions to solve the main challenges described above. This work reviews the concepts of service-oriented and self-managed networks and relates them to propose an integrated approach to assure QoS by offering flow-aware networking in the sense that traffic demands will be anticipated in a suitable way, lightpaths will be established taking into account QoS information (i.e., impairments) and complex services will be decomposed into optical connections so that the above techniques can be employed to assure QoS for any service.Keywords:

Released: Jun 01st, 2004
Running Time: 100
Director: Chloe (I)
Company: VCA Pictures
Wendy Devine, Dana Vespoli, Dez, Brittany Skye, Steve Hatcher, Randy Spears, Chloe (I), Eric Masterson, Alaura Eden
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Feature
Fans of Chloe and the cast. Vespoli is in three scenes.
Dana Vespoli plays Candy, the host of a failing sex-scene countdown show (whatever one of those is), and she's got a pig for a boss (Eric Masterson) who demands and receives sexual favors from her in exchange for her keeping her job. It all yawningly plays out with cardboard characters doing cardboard things. Luckily, there is the sex to recommend it.
Director Chloe wisely starts things off with a smoking sex scene between her and Randy Spears. She has her convulsing in her notorious, fan-loved "Chloe-gasms" throughout. Other good scenes include Brittany Skye and Dez doing some great-looking, standing doggie, using a trash can for leverage, and Alaura Eden and Steve Hatcher as country bumpkins doing some good, old-fashioned butt fucking in the barn. Skye and Vespoli do a great girl/girl scene with toys as well.

Response: Scientists do not debate whether evolution (descent with modification) took place, but they do argue about how it took place. Details of the processes and mechanisms are vigorously debated. Antievolutionists may hear the debates about how evolution occurs and misinterpret them as debates about whether evolution occurs.

Heavy Snow In NM Sparks Delays, Fatal Crash
Heavy snows and icy roads have left parts of New Mexico with forced delays, dangerous driving conditions and at least one person dead. New Mexico State Police say at least one person was killed Sunday in a weather related car crash near Waldo, forcing the temporarily closure of Interstate 25 just south of Santa Fe.
The winter storm on Sunday, which struck northern and central areas of the state, also forced the temporary closure of Interstate 40 in Clines Corners where two semi-trucks were jack knifed.
Both highways were reopened as of early Monday, but state transportation officials urged motorists to use extreme caution and expect heavy delays.
The winter weather forced some northern New Mexico cities and towns Monday to open on a two-hour delay.

Nick Cargo A coalition has been formed to protest the planned induction of Focus on the Family founder and chairman James Dobson into the Radio Hall of Fame. DumpDobson, founded by Truth Wins Out in conjunction with RespectMyResearch, Soulforce and the Gay Liberation Network, calls on Chicago's Museum of Broadcast Communications to reconsider honoring Dobson. "We believe that MBC founder Bruce DuMont should immediately rescind this tribute to Dobson and restore dignity and respectability to the Radio Hall of Fame," said Truth Wins Out Executive Director Wayne Besen. "While we recognize DuMont has the right to honor whomever he chooses, we also believe that he has a responsibility not to celebrate bigotry and intolerance." Dobson, also the founder of Family Research Council, produces a daily radio show broadcast on over 7,000 radio stations worldwide, in addition to about sixty American television stations. "The fact that James Dobson is an accomplished broadcaster is offset by the fact he is an even more accomplished liar," Besen told PageOneQ in July. "He has built his following by exploiting fear, promoting hatred and appealing to humanity's lowest common denominator. His broadcasts have sharpened divisions in society, poisoned politics and made America a more hostile nation. It is utter madness that one would be honored for such a disgraceful career." Dobson beat out "Dr. Laura" Schlessinger, sportscaster Bob Costas and "shock jock" Howard Stern in the "National Active" category. "Our only criterion is the number of years in the business," said Hall of Fame chairman Bruce DuMont. "He's been broadcasting more than 15 years on more than 3,000 stations. He's qualified." Dobson has been repeatedly accused of distorting sociological research to support his anti-gay political positions, including that same-sex couples are inferior parents and that gays seek to "destroy the institution of marriage." He also founded "Love Won Out," a ministry that purports to "cure" homosexuality. "Dobson continues to promote dishonest psychological theories about gay people that are rejected by every respected medical and mental health association in America, including the American Psychological Association and the American Psychiatric Association," Besen noted. "If Dobson had attacked any other minority in such an offensive manner, Bruce DuMont would not even consider honoring him. Sadly, it appears that Mr. DuMont believes there is a 'gay exception' to the rules of civility and common decency. We think this is wrong." In addition to a letter that members of the public are invited to sign, a protest, in conjunction with Equality Illinois, is scheduled for Saturday, November 8 at the Renaissance Chicago Hotel, 1 W. Wacker Drive, in Chicago. "We believe that character counts as much as building an audience when deciding who should make the Hall of Fame," Besen added. "Just as Pete Rose was barred from the Baseball Hall of Fame for gambling, Dobson should be banned for his habitual lies and chronic distorting of science."

Not our lucky week! Posted: 27 Nov 2007 09:51 PM | Defensio, the blog | no comments I guess it is not our lucky week! We're having some more server problems. This time, one of our database servers is affected: we've been growing pretty fast lately and this baby can't keep up. Even if it's the middle of the night, we're at the office working on the issue. Again, sorry for the inconvenience. Read more > Filed under: Defensio
Short downtime Posted: 27 Nov 2007 06:53 AM | Defensio, the blog | no comments Hello friends, One of our servers decided to call it quits last night. The outage started at around 4:30am EST and everything was back to normal about an hour later. This might, or might not, have affected your blog depending on how we route your traffic. If many comments hit the moderation queue during this period, you can simply log into your control panel and resend the unprocessed comments to Defensio for auditing. (note: only the latest Wordpress plugin currently supports this feature) We are sorry for the inconvenience and we will take the necessary steps to make sure this doesn't happen again. What's our excuse? We're still in beta Thanks for your patience. EDIT: it looks like Amazon EC2 (our hosting provider) is the culprit for this outage. Our server didn't crash, connecting to it was impossible, however. Read more > Filed under: Defensio
Wordpress plugin update available Posted: 20 Nov 2007 01:35 PM | Defensio, the blog | no comments Hola! We're glad to announce that we've just updated our Wordpress plugin. It now stands at version 1.1.2. Many of the features you requested have been added... but keep 'em coming! You can download the lastest version of the plugin at Wordpress Extend or from the Defensio website . Here's some of the new stuff: Unprocessed comment notification In the event that your Wordpress instance cannot connect to Defensio, comments are stored in the moderation queue. We've just added the possibility to resubmit those comments to Defensio with the click of a button. Easy and convenient. Defensio Counter Spread the Defensio love and tell the world how many spam you didn't see by adding the Defensio Counter to your blog. It's available as a "Wordpress Widget" for simplicity, or as a "PHP statement" for themes not supporting widgets. Our plugin ships with 2 default colors: dark grey and light grey (hey! we like grey!), but we've made it super easy for you to create your own fancy custom counter. Quarantine status in Dashboard Defensio now has its very own section in the Dashboard's activity box. The number of new spam is just a glance away. Architecture changes (important!) Our plugin is now hosted on Wordpress Extend . Its official name has been changed to defensio-anti-spam , which means that it should now reside in /wp-content/plugins/defensio-anti-spam instead of /wp-content/plugins/ defensio . When updating, do not forget to delete the old directory : not doing so will lead to version conflicts. If you have a recent version of Wordpress, you should be notified about plugin updates in the Plugins tab of your control panel. That makes it super easy to always stay up-to-date. Need Help? If you need help with Defensio, make sure to visit our community forum or simply drop us an email . Cheers! Read more > Filed under: Defensio, Plugins, Wordpress
Big Thanks to our testers! Posted: 19 Nov 2007 08:09 AM | Defensio, the blog | no comments It's been almost 2 weeks since we launched and we received tons of amazing press (see the sidebar). All this wouldn't be have been possible without the help of our testers from our alpha, private beta and public beta. Thanks to all! But more specifically, I want to thank our first 2 testers: Ben Yoskovitz and Julien Smith . They've been awesome at providing constructive feedback and helping us improve Defensio. Without them, I don't think Defensio would even exist today (really). Not only they're 2 great guys, but they also maintain top notch blogs: Ben's Instigator Blog is geared towards business, technology and startups. Julien's In Over Your Head is about technology, podcasting, music and life in general. Both are recommended additions to your RSS reader. Cheers to our testers! We really appreciate your help. (and for the record, we're still in public beta and we need more testers!) Read more > Filed under: Defensio, History

PHP and Java Goodness Posted: 08 Nov 2007 01:50 PM | Defensio, the blog | no comments Whoa, that was fast! It's exactly one day after launch, and the super-fly Defensio community has already churned out plug-ins for PHP and Java .

Defensio Unveiled! Posted: 06 Nov 2007 04:00 PM | Defensio, the blog | no comments We are very charged up today to announce the much-anticipated (by us, at least!) public-beta launch of Defensio's new spam filtering web service for blogs (and other social web applications subject to spam). If you're a blogger, you are likely already intimately familiar with the "spam problem". Spammers have been waging war on the blogosphere for months now, bombarding the comments section of blogs with literally millions of spam messages per day. This creates a lot of work for blog owners, who have to wade through hundreds if not thousands of messages every week, just to make sure their comment garden remains weed-free. It's become such a problem that many simply don't bother anymore, preferring to let the odd legitimate comment disappear; and an increasing number of bloggers are even opting to shut down comments altogether -- an unfortunate, and unnecessary, concession to the cold-hearted spammers' cause. We felt that the time was ripe for a better spam management solution; so we built Defensio. But with other web-based anti-spam services out there, what makes Defensio so special? Well, let us count the ways: Ridiculously easy spam management : Defensio sorts your quarantined comments by their "spaminess" value. This means that finding the occasional legitimate comment buried in your spambox (aka false positive) becomes dead easy, by bubbling up to the top of the list. We think this feature alone will make you never want to go back to old chronological spam sorting ever again. RSS feeds of your comments and spam : Defensio provides RSS feeds of all comments and spam messages posted to your blog, in digest form, to make it a cinch to follow the conversation. And what's best is that since it's Defensio, new spam messages will always be spaminess-sorted, making it ultra easy to pick out the good stuff. Detailed statistics for complete transparency : We believe in letting you in on how Defensio is performing on your own blog; it's your traffic after all! You'll get up-to-date accuracy and traffic statistics directly in the plug-in, as well as gorgeous charts to help you monitor the evolution of spam and performance over time. Stellar accuracy : Defensio is coldly efficient in stopping spam. What's best is that our filter's performance is personalized to your own blog, and continues to improve over time. And since we're up-front about performance statistics you can see for yourself just how we're doing, which, after an initial learning phase should hover well above 99% accuracy. Not bad, we think! Not just for blogs : Defensio's spam fighting abilities don't end with the blogosphere. We've built an easy-to-use public API that is perfectly suited to handling comment traffic from any social web application that might be subject to spam. Already, generous community developers have contributed plug-ins for PixelPost , Ruby on Rails and .NET . So, if you're a developer, check out our API and get a-buildin'. Want to achieve s tress-free spam-free nirvana on your blog? It's super easy to get started! Simply sign-up for an account and then download and install a plug-in. We are currently supporting WordPress 2.1+, PixelPost 1.7+ and Umbraco, with more platforms coming online soon. And the best part is that Defensio is 100% free for personal use ; it's hard not to like that! Please browse around our shiny new web site , and let us know if you have any questions -- we've set up a community forum to hear what you have to say, and we'll be monitoring it closely. Finally, we encourage you to sign up for this blog's RSS feed so that you can stay up to date with all the latest news and developments, Defensio-style. See you on the other side of spam.

text: Aug 15, 2013 13:57 New Orleans-filmed "12 Years a Slave" to open festival New Orleans-filmed "12 Years a Slave" to open festival Advocate staff report Aug. 15, 2013 Comments The 2013 New Orleans Film Festival, running Oct. 10 through Oct. 17, will open with a premiere screening of the New Orleans-shot "12 Years a Slave." The movie's director, Steve McQueen, will attend the screening, to be held at the recently renovated Civic Theatre. The festival will close with "Bayou Maharajah: The Tragic Genius of James Booker," a documentary by local filmmaker Lily Keber about the brilliant, troubled New Orleans pianist who died at 43 in 1983. "12 Years a Slave," set in the pre-Civil War United States and based upon a true story, stars Chiwetel Ejiofor as Solomon Northup, a free black man in upstate New York who is abducted and sold into slavery. Michael Fassbender co-stars as a malicious slave owner and Brad Pitt, one of the film's producers, plays a Canadian abolitionist who meets Northup during the twelfth year of his slavery. "12 Years a Slave" also features Paul Giamatti, Michael Kenneth Williams and "Beasts of the Southern Wild" co-stars Quvenzhané Wallis and Dwight Henry. Houma actress Wallis received an Oscar nomination for her performance in the Louisiana-shot "Beasts." Both "12 Years a Slave" and "Bayou Maharajah: The Tragic Genius of James Booker" represent New Orleans' burgeoning film scene, said Jolene Pinder, executive director of the New Orleans Film Society. "We are honored that the New Orleans Film Festival will be the premiere for both films," Pinder said. "With these two films bookending the festival, we can showcase both larger productions now calling Louisiana home while also celebrating our indigenous filmmakers." All-access passes will go on sale on Aug. 15 at neworleansfilmsociety.org ($125 for film society members, $150 for nonmembers). Pass holders are granted admission to all screenings and events at the festival. General admission for all other festival screenings (including closing night) will go on sale Sept. 30 for film society members and Oct. 7 for nonmembers.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Accuray Incorporated (Nasdaq: ARAY), a global leader in the field of radiosurgery, announced today that more than 12,000 courses of lung cancer treatment have been completed with CyberKnife radiosurgery. Usage of CyberKnife radiosurgery for lung cancer continues to grow, as illustrated by a 25 percent increase year over year in calendar year 2009.
CyberKnife radiosurgery offers lung cancer patients a non-invasive means for treating their disease. The outpatient treatment is completed in five or fewer visits, and is both painless and non-surgical. Because the CyberKnife System utilizes continual image guidance along with continual correction for respiratory motion, it is able to deliver high-doses of radiation to the tumor from hundreds of angles with pinpoint precision.
Judith, a lung cancer survivor, shares her experience having been treated with both conventional lung cancer treatments and CyberKnife radiosurgery:
Judith was diagnosed with stage IIIa lung cancer in the winter of 2004. At that time she received 12 rounds chemotherapy, 23 days of radiation therapy and surgery two weeks later to remove the upper lobe of her right lung. Recovery from her treatment was difficult, involving a 15 day hospital stay and four weeks of recovery at home. During a follow-up visit, some residual cancer was discovered leading her to undergo eight more rounds of chemotherapy. Judith hoped the worst of things were behind her and for almost three years they were.
Then in the summer of 2007 doctors found a recurrence of her cancer in a lymph node located deep in the center of Judith's chest. Since she had already undergone surgery and had received conventional radiation year

On health care: There is always some ambulance chasing law firm advertising that they will get you a large cash reward for a hip replacement, or for some accident that you were involved in at sometime in your life, and the doctor was obviously a quack, so you need to sue him for malpractice.
Drug firms tell us we all need to be on some form of medication, and a year later, some law firm is suing that drug company for the use of that medication. The biggest health care crises facing our country are frivolous lawsuits. Doctors pay huge fees to cover malpractice insurance, and therefore must charge more to those they serve; it's just a vicious circle.
"Political correctness" has brought us all these wonderful little treasures in our life. Not the least of which is racism.
Racism? Don't believe me? Let's investigate. I know a couple of people that were born and raised in Africa. They now live in America, but they do not fall under the label of "African-American." Why? Because they are white. You can only be an African-American if you are black. So the label African-American means black only, which means the term African-American is a racist term. It doesn't apply to all persons, who may or may not be from Africa, but only describes a black person. My family tree goes way back in this country and also from across the Atlantic. American Indian/Welsh.
Thanks all the same, but I don't want your liberal invoked, politically correct racist labels.

Rich and generic ontologies about web service functionalities are a prerequisite for performing complex reasoning tasks with web service descriptions. However, their acquisition is timeconsuming and conditioned by the small number of web services available in certain domains. As a solution, we describe a semiautomatic method to extract such ontologies from software documentation,
motivated by the observation that web services reflect the
functionality of their underlying implementation. Further, we report on fine-tuning the extraction process by using a multi-stage evaluation method.

I was trying to work out how to do an easy way of transparency instead of using all that code from the bitblt which was a page long...so i made my own in like 3-4 lines

This is an example of a quick transparency codeandreww 02-03-2002, 12:51 AM I was trying to work out how to do an easy way of transparency instead of using all that code from the bitblt which was a page long...so i made my own in like 3-4 lines its attached ChiefRedBull 02-03-2002, 10:20 AM A good idea. Nicely done. :) But what if I'm using a large image... it might take a while.... Garrett Sever 02-03-2002, 11:42 AM That's exactly the problem with what young andrew has done here. The Point/PSet (or GetPixel/SetPixel for API) method has been around for quite some time, but it IS hideously slow for larger bitmaps. Try something 300x300 and watch it lag. The easiest way of accomplishing transparency AND speed is to use two bitmaps for the mask and the picture. I generally use this one. You end up with bigger resource files, but... it'll work 99.99999% of the time. Another way (and the most complicated) would be to create a monochrome bitmap, use GetBitmapBits to get the individual Bytes of your image. As you loop thru the bits in your pixel array, you create another array of the monochrome bits. You then set the mask pixels by using SetBitmapBits. This puts you in exactly the same place as the first bullet. Finally would be to use the BitBlt methods to create a mask from the image by setting the back color = transparency color and blting it onto a monochrome bitmap. Unfortunately this doesn't work really well on 95 systems (98 and ME seemed to work well). Computer_Guy 02-08-2002, 01:33 PM but, if you use two bitmaps instead, why don't you make the mask into a gif file, so that it is much smaller in file size, won't that decrease resources used? I was also thinking that since I am making an RPG, but there is only one hero, then could I make a gif image, that is already a mask for the tileset of the character, so that I don't have to use Get/Set pixel? Thanks Ed AcidBoot 02-08-2002, 06:41 PM I tried that a few days ago. For some reason bitblt copied across the transparent pixles as well, eliminating the background.
